Washed my car for the first time since owning it and because the paint was abit sad did a cut and polish, turned out well for 20 year old paint.

Bredan, took about 4 hours all up, i used meguiars medium cut on the drivers door and the drivers front guard as they were really faded, meguiars fine cut on the rest of the car. To wash it i used the meguiars nxt gen car wash to wash it, and nxt gen tech wax.

avandull - yeah tyres bit dirty from last dirt sprint.

Nachoman - :D

Vulpes - yeah the number plate holder got pounded back in nov when i got caught in a storm, car got hit with abit of hail but that was the only thing that got damaged, thankfully.

Mrbishi - thats the best i could come up with that was available and didnt cost a motza to buy.

You did a better job than I did! :) The lines/panel fitment are pretty good on that car...

Should look sensational when the car is one day resprayed, and with all decals and badges!!

Equal with a a widey me thinks, although the GSR-V has the best stock engine/drivetrain setup...
